Digital BW, The Print

hmmmmm.... I am using much less Ink in my 2400 than I used in my 1280  
with MIS UT2 inks. I think it may be because of the lack of cleaning  
cycles, and the fact that i have never had a clog or even done a  
nozzle check. I have not kept accurate records, but I really believe  
that my 1280 used fully at least twice as much ink. I dont print that  
much, and that may be why. If you only print about once a week like  
me, the 2400 is very efficient. Everyone is diferent, so, as they  
say, your milage may vary. DM
